I'm making a small batch of these.

They will be pricey as the parts are not that cheap and making them are very time consuming, especially making the EXT Connector...
Probably they will only be interesting for Europeans as Scart for the rest of the world is non existing, and why not MOD the consoles instead you think as you won't be able to use the CD-ROM2 when this is connected, true but this is made for purists and collectors that don't want to mod their precious jewels.
For any PCE/TG16 with full 69Pin EXT connector.
If any one just want AV that works too... Any lengths too.

That's pretty damn cool. There have been a few people to do such things on here, but yours looks nicer than most.
Does the cable have a built in RGB amp?
-
Yes it does, the picture is way to dark without it! I'v seen most LED holder mods there is and none looked as pro and easy to use this and I wanted something like this my self the only thing was it didn't exist so I had to develop it myself.

Should also say that you can make or buy RGB Scart to S-Video converters, but it's messy to build and expensive to buy. There is even RGB Scart to HDMI, which is the best modern solution since it can be used on nearly all modern TVs around the globe (LCD/TFT/'LED'), but some of us do like to play on CRT =)
-
Very awesome. You can put me down for one, possibly two depending on the price.
-
What price you have in mind for it??
-
Interested!
Would it be cheaper to order one without the AV plugs? I only need the RGB SCART connection.
Is the SCART plug wired for audio?
Are you using the 3 x transistor amp?
Got a rough price estimate?
Anyhow, sorry for all the questions, keep us updated with info, some screens showing it in action would be nice too. :)

Taking away the AV would make it cheaper but only about 5$, so it wouldn't be worth it, I mean better to have that option available.
The scart has audio too, but modern flat TVs today have pretty bad sound so alot of people take it threw their surround system, and then it's
pretty much easier when the AV is there...
It's using the 3x Transistor for amping, there is a lot of different amps out there but most is made by people who don't have any knowledge in video circuitry, and they put capacitors and resistors hi and low "to make jailbars go away" claiming their circuit is the best and that you couldn't live with out it, a little voodoo I would say, so the 3x transistors works mostly fine....
Ok here's the real banger, expect about 75-80$, just the parts goes for about 45$, and then about 15$ for the tracked shipping, so thats about 60$ add to that it takes up to 10 hours just to make it, so theres no real profit.
Pics will come later.

Thanks for the additional info.
Price is high which is understandable, I'm still interested in one so set one aside for me once you begin producing them.

Here are some pics, the photos don't make the picture justice, like shooting at the moon, a small white blurry uneven dot... the Composite looks washed out in comparance, and the RGB looks more crisp and sharper.

Looking good!
